DAVID AND PATRICIA ILCZUK-SHAFFER DONATE GENEROUSLY TO THE AGH CAMPAIGN FOR THE FUTURE

Berlin, Md. – David and Patricia Shaffer donated a generous $10,000 towards the Atlantic General Campaign for the Future in loving memory of Andre’ Lavanceau.

“Having a local hospital and cancer center is vital to the Worcester County community. When Andre’s illness took a turn, it was the doctors at Atlantic General Hospital who were able to connect us to the resources needed to prolong his life. We were blessed with another three and a half years together. Leaving a legacy in Andre’s name is important to me, my daughter and my grandchildren,” stated Ilczuk-Shaffer.
